	Pubic bone graft technique solves reconstructive surgery woes \| Surgeon-Directory.com
		This new technique involves the use of the pubic bone, found at the front of the pelvis, for harvesting bone grafts necessary for reconstructive surgery of the face and jaws, and other areas.
		They found that the pubic bone, found at the front of the pelvis, could be easily reached through a small incision—about 1 inch.
		The researchers report on their initial experience with the pubic bone graft technique in a 10-year-old boy who needed follow-up surgery for a cleft palate defect.

	Improved Brachtherapy Through Ultrasound
		To be successful, however, the surgeon must be able to pass the needle under the patient's pubic arch bone to reach all parts of the prostate gland.
		The CT scan of the pubic arch bone is overlaid with an ultrasound image of the patient's prostate gland to determine whether a surgeon would encounter interference during the brachytherapy procedure.
		CT exams require patients to lie in a prone position, which changes the relationship of the pubic arch bone to the prostate and makes it more difficult to assess whether pubic arch interference will be encountered during surgery.

	Face Reconstructed from Genital Area - Pelvic bone for bone grafting - Softpedia
		The researchers discovered that the pubic bone, situated at the front of the pelvis, just above the genital area, could be easily reached through a small incision, about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
		The importance of the method is given by the minimal dissection of the soft tissue necessary to expose the pubic bone and collect the cancellous bone (sponge-like interior bone) needed for grafting.
		The team thinks that the pubic bone graft could be the new standard for those undergoing cleft palate reconstructions.

		Objective: To compare the cure rates for the pubic bone stabilization sling procedure for stress urinary incontinence to the Burch procedure and abdomino-vaginal slings.
		Over a 4.5 year period the pubic bone stabilization sling was performed for anatomic stress urinary incontinence (SUI= 220), stress incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD= 45), hypermobile urethra/potential stress urinary incontinence (50 patients).
		Conclusions: The pubic bone stabilization sling is equal to other highly regarded procedures used to cure SUI.

	Laparoscopic Incontinence Surgery
		Use of the pubic bone as the inferior border of the initial incision into the peritoneum allows the surgeon to avoid the superior vesical artery, which runs anterior to the round ligament but slightly below the level of the pubic bone.
		Although it may seem that several tissue planes must be incised, the distance between the peritoneum and the pubic bone is short, even in obese patients.
		Once the pubic bone is reached, the assistant inserts a blunt instrument into the incision and retracts the bladder to the right (mirror image for a left-handed surgeon).

		The bladder neck then is supported by the sutures, which are threaded on a needle and tied to the fascia (fibrous tissue) or the pubic bone.
		Bone anchors are new additions to the techniques for needle suspension of the bladder neck.
		Next, the suspension sutures are fixed to an anchor that is inserted into the pubic bone and they are tied without tension by means of a removable spacer.

	Ultrasound imaging advance improves prostate cancer treatment
		"Bone tends to scatter and weaken the ultrasound waves and create a lot of visual noise in the image," explains Kim, who has a two-decade track record of imaging innovations.
		In addition, Grimm says, the ultrasound technology allows doctors to examine their patients in the same tucked-knee position that they will be in for the brachytherapy procedure.
		In pre-clinical studies at the Seattle Prostate Institute, the new ultrasound imaging technology accurately predicted whether public arch interference was present in all but two of 307 planned needle insertion points.
